From the invitation:
This one day session (Day Two) will focus on future trends in educational institutions. Session attendees will be invited to join in a general discussion, and identify key areas and trends in order to inform future development.
The broad topics for discussion will include:
- Wider global and societal trends affecting future educational institutions.
- Existing and emerging technologies likely to have increased use and impact in future institutions.
- Imagining the future: possible innovations not yet dreamt or discovered which could impact on education.
- Will educational “institutions” as distinct, concrete physical entities still exist in the future? What form will future institutions take?
- The human angle: what will the educational experience be for learners, academic and admin staff in the future?
- A formal or an informal future for educational institutions: what do we think is most likely?
Session attendees are welcome to prepare short speeches or presentations featuring their ideas, imaginings and innovative thoughts about the future of institutions.
